In depth
Verdict
AYR POET (NAP) finished runner-up here twice before landing an apprentices' race at Ayr last week and goes unpenalised so should complete a quick double. Flying Moon scored over 1m3f here but was behind the selection last month while Retirement Beckons is also held on latest running, as are Perfect Soldier and Reaver. Global Exceed is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Redcar in June though that was on fast ground while Najib has never won, though ran his best race to date over slightly shorter here last month on ground with some give.
